Red means GO!

Well, it's not a normal period by any means, but I started spotting this morning so I'm calling today as day 1. I called the IVF scheduler this morning and we are good to GO! Our IVF plan officially starts today!!!

Here's the beginning of the plan:

Start BCP today, October 1, 2007.
Begin Lupron injections on October 10, 2007; take 10 units between 7:00am and 9:00am.
Stop taking the BCP on October 14, 2007; continue with Lupron.
Baseline ultrasound and bloodwork is scheduled for October 24, 2007 at 7:30am.
After baseline ultrasound and bloodwork, the rest of the plan will be reviewed based on my response to the Lupron and BCP protocol.

Tentative remainder of plan:
Beginning October 27, 2007, start daily Follistim injections, possibly overlap with Lupron injections.
Tentative Egg Retrieval on November 7, 2007, depending on response to Follistim.
Tentative Embryo Transfer on November 10, 2007, depending on ER and response to drugs.
Tentative Beta on Friday, November 23, 2007. The day after Thanksgiving.

I'm praying that we're going to have a lot to be thankful for this year.
